If the NDP is ‘toast’, do the Greens have what it takes? | CBC News
“The NDP,” Stockwell Day told CBC’s Power Panel last week, “is toast.”

statement was somewhat surprising coming from the former Conservative
cabinet minister, who had been defending NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s
political potential for months. Not that surprising, though, given the
number of people writing off the New Democrats these days.
Even
Charlie Angus admitted a few days ago he’s been reading his party’s
obituary for a long time. Angus insisted that obit isn’t ready to be
printed, but his counter-argument was all about the kind of power New
Democrats could enjoy in a minority government — one led by another
party.
